Modern false idols
If you read the Bible, you will discover that the primary problem for human beings is not immorality, but idolatry, making that which isn't ultimate ultimate.
For some reason we humans find it hard to have a healthy relationship with just about everything. Money. Religion. Food. Alcohol. Our family members. They all become too important to us. And when they become too important they become obsessions, creating problems for ourselves and for others. I see that in our politics these days. We go all in for our politics or our favorite politicians. Our politics are absolutely right. Our favorite politicians can do no wrong. Even when they do do wrong (and all of them do) we can't admit that. We do all kinds of mental gymnastics to defend them and their actions. They become too important. They become idols. Sadly, we will do all kinds of things to protect our idols, even when the idols really couldn't care less about us. But we bow down at their feet.
